ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari has urged media, civil society, and the private sector to collaborate in raising awareness about the risks of diabetes, aiming for early prevention and reducing the burden of this silent killer. In his message on World Diabetes Day, observed annually on November 14, the president emphasized that diabetes can be controlled—and even prevented—through proactive measures such as adopting a healthier lifestyle, regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and maintaining a healthy weight.
This year’s theme, ‘Diabetes and Well-being,’ highlights the importance of addressing the growing global diabetes crisis and its profound impact on health and well-being. President Zardari pointed out that the increasing cases of diabetes are primarily linked to sedentary living, poor dietary habits, and a lack of education about the disease.
He also stressed the need to strengthen Pakistan’s healthcare infrastructure to ensure that all individuals have access to affordable and effective diabetes care. By working together with both national and international partners, President Zardari believes that Pakistan can improve its healthcare systems, implement preventive measures, and provide cost-effective treatment to those living with diabetes.
